India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20: Suryakumar Yadav’s shots are amazing to watch, says Shikhar Dhawan

While skipper Shikhar Dhawan admitted that he thought they were ‘10-15 runs short’, he also assessed that it wasn’t too bad in terms of recovery.

Suryakumar Yadav, with his 360 degree shots, is ‘amazing’ to watch, said India captain Shikhar Dhawan after a crushing 38-run win over Sri Lanka in the first T20 International in Colombo on Sunday (July 25). Surya scored 50 off 34 balls, his second half-century in his fourth T20 International and was involved in a 62-run stand for the third wicket with Dhawan. “He(Surya) is a great player and we enjoy watching him bat. He took the pressure from me and the way he plays calculated shots was amazing to watch,” Dhawan said at the post-match presentation ceremony. While Dhawan admitted that he thought they were ‘10-15 runs short’, he also assessed that it wasn’t too bad in terms of recovery. “I feel we played quite well after losing early wickets. It was about one or two boundaries, we knew we could get going.”
